The Walter Kaitz Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that promotes inclusion and participation of women and people of color in the cable telecommunications industry. The foundation raises funds from cable industry participants and disburses them through three independent not-for-profit organizations: The Emma L. Bowen Foundation,〔The Emma L. Bowen Foundation ( - visit the official Emma L. Bowen Foundation web site )〕 which prepares minority youth for careers in the media industry; the National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Cable,〔The National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Cable ( - visit the official web site of The National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Cable )〕 which helps people of color identify mentors and advance their careers; and Women in Cable & Telecommunications,〔Women in Cable & Telecommunications ( - visit the official Women in Cable & Telecommunications web site )〕 which provides career guidance and training for women in the communications field. In 2008, the Foundation announced it awarded more than $1.5 million dollars to the three organizations. Much of the funding for the Walter Kaitz Foundation comes from an annual dinner〔The Walter Kaitz Annual Fundraising Dinner ( - visit the official Walter Kaitz Foundation Annual Fundraising Dinner web site )〕 the organization presents to celebrate Diversity Week, a series of meetings and events sponsored by cable industry organizations in New York City. The dinner honors individuals from within and outside of the cable industry who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity. ==History== The foundation was established in 1980 in honor of Walter Kaitz,〔Walter Kaitz (Biography of Walter Kaitz )〕 a Russian immigrant who was president of the California Cable Television Association (CCTA)〔The California Cable Television Association (CCTA) (- Visit the official Cable Television Association web site )〕 from the early 1960s until his death in 1979.
